History Channel 720p??

Is it possible to find and capture anything from

history.com

I used to be able to find and capture 720p, but now it is only 540p at best. Steps I use are letting video run, load up AdBlock Plus, and searching for .m3u8. This gives the master.m3u8 file and within this file it shows best quality is 540p. That said, is there a different way to search for stream info that gives a 720p version link?? If so, anyone can please share? Thank you.

I am sure this is possible directly. I use a Mac, and do dual boot into Windows on occasion. I did this afternoon, and tried adownloader. Havent used it in a while, but it can capture from history in 720p, and when it is reading in the manifest file it is finding and showing the m3u8 url when it downloads what you select. Yes, i can do that process when needed. But I am wondering, how does adownloader find that url? And can that be done easily through firefox, adblock plus, chrome, httpfox, etc?

I can get direct MP4 with this resolution:

bitrate="1928000" height="540" width="960"
bitrate="1422000" height="432" width="768"
bitrate="1121000" height="360" width="640"
bitrate="826000" height="288" width="512"
bitrate="526587" height="252" width="448"
bitrate="323000" height="180" width="320"
bitrate="161000" height="180" width="320"

There is a better one?

If you happen to use adownloader in Windows, it yes finds a better version. At least for the pilot episode of Six.
